Abstract

This study describes the vitality of the oral tradition of Syaer Lampung, which grows and develops in the community of Lampung Pepadun. This effort was made to provide a complete understanding and description of words and sentences in the Syaer’s oral literature. The researchers use a qualitative approach in four sets to achieve this goal, namely data collection, data verification, data presentation analysis, and conclusions. Researchers found the philosophical meaning contained in Syaer’s oral literature as an advice from ancestors for future generations. The advice inserted in every stanza of Syaer’s oral literature is to have a noble character, be responsible, be kind, staying away from detrimental actions to oneself and others. Another philosophical meaning in Syaer’s stanza is the command to obey Allah and stay away from His prohibitions. Researchers also found indications of the vitality of Syaer’s oral literature, which began to fade among its users. It was found that there was a substantial change in the use of language in Syaer’s stanza from Lampung to Indonesian. Based on these findings, the researchers suggested that the conservation for Syaer was necessary.
